Gavin's Update - October 2023

In October, I have been fortunate enough to deliver over 100 sandwiches to clients thanks to the multiple groups and families that provide them to us each month.

We were able to meet with members of the Wheeler clinic in Waterbury along with a few homeless response officers from the Waterbury Police Department.

There we shared information along with different ideas and strategies on how each individual group can better help the homeless community.

Just this month our program has seen over a 30% increase in our caseload. We are starting to see a growing increase of people over 65 years of age who are newly homeless.

Most of these cases the person(s) were living in their residency for over 10 years and due to COVID, landlords have raised the rents of nearly every apartment building in the city.
